We had somewhat complicated taxes, and Jim gave us VERY good service for a very good price. He found some deductions previous accountants missed. He explained what he was doing as he did it, and had a monitor for us to watch as he worked so I understand the deductions better than I did before. We will definitely use him again, and recommend him highly.

Wonderful Accountant and person. Its my first year filing taxes in the US and he took time to explain everything to me, was very patient and knowlegable about the taxes. Filed all Federal, state and city taxes with excellent care, great return and explained every field filed.
Going to refer all my Friends to him and will definitely without doubt file every year with him and I suggest to everyone else to do the same...😊

We have worked with Frank even before he made his way to HBK and has helped us to become more financially efficient over the years. He handles several personal ventures and a number of our companies that cover a broad range of industries. Frank is an extremely reliable CPA that doesn't leave any stones unturned. With his assistance over the years, we've been able to submit very accurate tax filings that have maximized our tax savings. Would highly recommend him to others that are looking for an accountant.

Michael and Ned were excellent in satisfying my tax preparation. Both were very attentive in maximizing my return. In previous years I had HR BLOCK handle similar preparation and was charged much more in fees and didn't get nearly the same expertise that Simic CPA provided. I would give them the highest rating and encourage others to give them their business! BOB from Strongsville

I am pleased to report that Essential Flexibility has done both my personal and business bookkeeping for many years and working with Eileen Fertal has always been a pleasure. Staying current with Quickbooks postings allows monthly and year end reports for the accountant to be accurate and timely. We are grateful to have the privilege of working with a company that is loyal, reliable and trustworthy. We highly recommend Essential Flexibility for all your bookkeeping needs.

Valerie has turned our business books AROUND! Transitioning over from QuickBooks (ugh) to Xero was the best decision we've ever made accounting-wise. Valerie's knowledgeable, and willing to go the extra mile to make things work the way we need them to work with our complicated back end systems.

Q & A

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

What is an accountant?

Accountants are financial professionals who have received an accounting degree from a four-year university or college. By trade, accountants prepare, maintain and examine the financial statements of an individual, business or institution. An accountant prepares reports for tax purposes and can also perform audits of public companies. Common tasks include creating budgets, analyzing profits and losses of a company, processing payroll, preparing financial statements for company leadership, and creating and maintaining financial database systems for a company.

Accountants do not automatically have a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) designation unless they have passed the Uniform CPA Examination and received the proper license. Regardless of whether they are CPA certified or not, accountants can assist businesses and individuals with bookkeeping and financial reporting, while CPAs are more knowledgeable in tax codes as a result of the CPA licensing examination and continuing education requirements. CPAs are also eligible to represent clients before the IRS if audit support is required, while a non-CPA accountant is not. Academic background, years in the field and professional reputation all can affect an accountant’s rates.

How much does it cost to hire an accountant?

Accountants’ rates vary based on their education, licenses, experience, and the work for which they are being hired. An accountant may charge an hourly rate when a company or individual needs their services on a short-term basis, such as when performing an audit or requesting assistance setting up a financial database or process. Hourly rates can range as widely as $40 per hour to $300 or more per hour, depending on your geographic location and the accountant. Check out the average hourly rate for accounting services in your region.

Accountants may offer a package rate for weekly, monthly or annual services to reward ongoing customers. Many accountants offer online services where small businesses can access online accounting software and payroll assistance, and the accountant — for a monthly or other recurring fee — provides financial analysis and reporting of their numbers. For basic monthly accounting services, an accountant might charge anywhere from $75 to $500 or more, depending on what was included in a given package, the size of the client’s business, and the complexity of work requested. Nationally, full-time staff accountants earn between $40,000 and $80,000, depending on experience and other factors.
